ISRAEL STARR RELEASES NEW INSTRUMENTAL SINGLE “SEASONS”
Wellington-based artist, producer, and cultural storyteller Israel Starr releases his new instrumental single “Seasons” on Friday 13 February — a slow-burn reggae meditation designed to create space, stillness, and reflection.
Built around warm trumpet lines, gentle flute melodies, and laid-back jazz guitar and bass, Seasons unfolds across four distinct instrumental movements, subtly mirroring the natural rhythm of the seasons themselves. The track moves unhurriedly, allowing each section to breathe and settle, drawing listeners into a calm, grounded soundscape.
Beyond its structure, Seasons reflects the personal cycles we move through in life — growth, rest, transition, and renewal — each phase arriving in its own time. The spacious arrangement and relaxed tempo invite listeners to slow down, reflect, and reset, offering a moment of quiet in an often-noisy world.
Calm, grounding, and deeply reflective, Seasons is well suited to chill, roots, instrumental, meditation, and late-night playlists. It is music created to soften the moment and let the mind wander.
Israel Starr is more than a musician — he is a cultural custodian, sonic architect, and spiritual connector from Aotearoa. Known for his authentic fusion of Roots Reggae, Funk, and World Music, Israel’s work is grounded in whakapapa, truth, and community.
Raised within the Twelve Tribes of Israel Rasta movement, his artistic journey is guided by principles of faith, humility, knowledge-sharing, and “full love.” These values shape both his life and his music, informing a deep respect for reggae and sound system culture, and a responsibility to honour those who came before while uplifting the next generation.
“My mission is simple: to uplift the consciousness of our people through music that stays real, true, and rooted.” — Israel Starr
Whether on stage, in the studio, or behind the scenes, Israel leads with integrity and service, creating music that acts as a force for healing, unity, and truth.
